To be fair, they were just rear ended and jolted onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train with the horn blaring.

Their brain was likely moving in all kinds of directions and fight/flight instinct kicks in and flight took over.

With the shock of the wreck, arms dinging on top of them and the sound of the horn they probably felt like the train was right on top of them when it really wasn’t (relatively)


This.

So much room to pull forward and, if necessary, push through the “arms”. They will give.

A logical assumption, and fair assessment.

And what a fricking idiot just getting out of the car and not backing around the gate or driving forward and getting the frick out of the way. Wow.


It's debatable if insurance should cover that. They will definitely be dropped once this settles. This person should have their license pulled permanently. Sadly, most Louisiana drivers are even dumber than this lady. Can't even make a short drive anymore without witnessing at least one dumbass.

Modern vehicles should have a disable function that requires the driver to pass a cognitive ability test before it can be driven.

I try to extend grace to people in stressful situations

But what on earth. I assume everyone's first instinct would be to plow forward especially with absolutely nothing in your way.

I'm sure the person who bumped the car was absolutely terrified thinking they'd made the mistake of killing the dumbest driver on earth

Just another reason why here in America we cannot have high-speed trains because we have highly stupid people

That HAD to be an elderly person. They had a million chances to avoid this accident.

Guys as we know from the Daryl Brooks case, SUVs drive themselves. Driver had no choice but to bail.

It was on the truck that rear ended them pushing them onto the tracks.

The driver of the truck did a poor job of anticipating the level of retardation of the SUV driver who retardedly and abruptly stopped after clearing the gate. Of course their bumpers tapped.

Rather than clear the tracks and proceed forward (a safe location to resolve an understandable and predictable accident, Mr retarded SUV driver stupidly decided to back up INTO the path of an oncoming train.

The SUV driver just does not have a survival instinct. He’s not good breeding material and should be neutered. We don’t need that shite in our gene pool.

But the driver was pushed onto the track. That wasn't the SUV's fault.

Everything else after that though...

People lose their minds during accidents. Dude could have either backed all the way off the tracks or driven forward.
